More than ever now, I believe it's so important to look as real and true to life as possible, because nobody's perfect. I seem to be on a mission, but I don't want the next generation, your daughters and mine, growing up thinking that you have to be thin to look beautiful in certain clothes. It's terrifying right now. It's out of control. It's beyond out of control.
I wouldn't dream of working on something that didn't make my gut rumble and my heart want to explode.
Ultimately, you just have one life. You never know unless you try. And you never get anywhere unless you ask.
Loving someone is setting them free, letting them go.
Life is short, and it is here to be lived.
I kept on going and I overcame my fears and got over my insecurities.
Because of the person I am I won't be knocked down — ever. They can say I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm whatever, and I'll never stop. I just won't. I've got too much to do. I've too much to be happy about.
Acting is about being real, being honest.
There are moments to indulge and enjoy, but I always know when it's time to go home and wash my knickers.
Femininity for me means happiness and freedom...freedom of being who you are in whatever shape or size you come in.
I feel very strongly that curves are natural, womanly and real. I shall continue to hope that women are able to believe in themselves for who they are inside, and not feel under such incredible pressure to be unnaturally thin.
It doesn't make any sense... that's why I trust it!
I'm really happy in my own skin. There's a lot of judgment that can come from outside sometimes, and there's media scrutiny that is placed on a lot of women in the public eye, and I just couldn't care less. I really couldn't care less. 'I would sometimes say in my twenties, 'oh, I couldn't care less', but I think I probably did. Now I genuinely don't and that's a lovely, liberating thing to experience.
There's more to life than cheek bones.
